How often can I apply at certain banks

Hey everyone, 

I am a freshman at college, eager to break into investment banking. I am not very familiar with the application process and therefore have two questions. 

1. Can I apply at a bank several times? e.g. could I apply for an IB internship at GS for the summer of 2025 (not getting in) therefore apply again 2026? 

2. Can I apply for e.g. at GS IB internship for 2025 for several different locations to increase my chances, e.g NY, LA etc. 

Thanks for the help!

Not a direct answer but I know for a fact that some firms in London blacklist you from applying for 3-5 years if you get rejected from their Spring Week

Omnis provident enim reprehenderit sit. Dicta tempore iure voluptas consequuntur consequatur autem minima porro. Et debitis consequatur ad in alias.

Sed quos nihil vel. Et illo esse voluptatem hic dolore. Officia odio sunt consequatur nam maxime dolorem sint vero. Perferendis sit repudiandae est adipisci minima.

Culpa qui dolorem nam. Eum aut pariatur porro soluta. Aut dolorem nihil tenetur. Sit eveniet impedit at.
